Walking along the beach

Day one of #ArtAdventCalendar #MinimalistMonday
Two people in yellow raincoats walking along a beach on a foggy day. There is a large rock just off the coast to the right of the picture. The sand is wavy. In the far background in the mist is a promontory.

Today, DOE renamed the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), one of the crown jewels of U.S. science and engineering for renewable energy, the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR). We should be reinvesting in our world-leading national labs not renaming them. www.nrel.gov/news/detail/...

The Trump administration says it has renamed the National Renewable Energy Laboratory the "National Laboratory of the Rockies." "The renaming is effective immediately and will be reflected in all public communications and official correspondence." www.nrel.gov/news/detail/... 🔌💡

Electricity is the new price of eggs.

Voters need your political position on the price of electricity and utility bills.

A real solution? Publicly-owned utilities.

Pretty neat clouds today, stratus fractus streamers shearing off the top of the tule fog deck and drifting southwest across the valley towards the coast. #CAwx #stratusupdate #tulefog

Another desert specialization of Kit foxes is they rarely, if ever, drink surface water. They get most to all of their water through the prey they eat. Kit foxes further conserve water by being nocturnal and also by dissipating heat efficiently through those big ears. 🦊

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the best fox, the San Joaquin kit fox. Endangered throughout its range, this canid lives in very hot places and keeps cool using its ears as radiators to dump heat.
